Hi,

REVIEW PHASE START

please note the start of a kdereview phase for Skladnik. The checklist issue 
has been created here: https://invent.kde.org/games/skladnik/-/issues/2


RELEASE PLANNED FOR NOV 20th

While the phase is running, in parallel I plan to do a first (well, after 15 
years of none, see below) release Monday, November 20th
(string freeze in master since today).


OPEN QUESTIONS

When it comes to reuse compat, there are graphic resources added decades ago, 
with no direct license statement in the files, only copyright notes (in the 
Povray (sic) files :) ).
Would the file COPYING (GPLv2) in the toplevel dir then default the license 
for these files?
See https://phabricator.kde.org/source/svn/browse/trunk/kdegames/;10132
In short, what to do here for reuse checks? Ignore, because old repo and thus 
legacy rights? Can files be skipped in the check?


ABOUT

First commit in Aug. 30th 1998, first released by the name KSokoban with KDE 
1.1, to be part of KDE for 10 years up to the last KDE 3 release. Then stalled 
over Qt4/KDELibs4 porting, though the last 15 years bit by bit ported by 
different people to since last year even build and run against future Qt6/
KF6...
time to get it finally back to releases rolling and rejoin the other historic 
KDE games, as it still can entertain.

Skladnik is an implementation of the Japanese warehouse keeper game "sokoban", 
and the new name to replace (trademark-challenging) KSokoban. It is a small 
logic game to play by a single person (+ over-the-shoulder watchers) in breaks 
for a few (or more) minutes per level.
